Welcome to the first Nordic Conference on Consumer Research. The theme of the conference is "recognition of the roots and fruits of Nordic consumer research". In this conference consumer researchers have an opportunity to illustrate the historic development (roots) as well as shed light on the multifarious nature, both theoretical and methodological pluralism (fruits) of current Nordic consumer research. In conjunction with the two-day conference (June 10-11) there is a consumer behaviour summer school (June 9-11), organised by the University of Vaasa and Kataja.

For conference purposes, these dynamics are conceptualized in broad, multi-disciplinary terms that encompass institutional, socio-cultural (e.g., class, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, etc.) and other societal influences on consumers. Now in its 5th year, the Conference is a premier venue for consumer culture researchers from all academic disciplines to share their ideas, empirical insights, and theoretical interests in an engaging, invigorating, and cutting edge forum. As reflected by our keynote speaker and panel sessions, a key motif of the 2010 conference will be power and resistance dynamics as manifested through marketplace relationships
